Judgment Day

Tonight's the night. The Knicks' fortunes lie in the whims of 14 little ping pong balls. The lottery is scheduled for 7:30 (probably more like 8) this evening, just before tipoff of the Celtics-Cavaliers game. I believe D'Antoni will be our representative in Secaucus.

So wear your lucky boxers, give your lucky Walt Frazier bobblehead a couple taps, and do your friends a few favors today. We need the good karma.

Also, physicians recommend one and only one playing of ESPN's lottery machine on the actual day, so give it a go and then divert your attention elsewhere. Report your results here. I just gave it a spin and had the Knicks getting Eric Gordon at the 6 spot. Hopefully, you do better.

One final suggestion from your superstitious editor: just for today, let's not say the name of that coveted point guard we're hoping the Knicks can nab at one of the top two spots. You know, the one from Memphis who sometimes makes me giggle in my sleep. We can talk about him, but just don't use his actual name. Don't wanna jinx it.

Update: Our new NBA prospect blog, Ridiculous Upside will be live-blogging the event if you'd like to join in.

Update: The Knicks will have the 6th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. Sleep on it and we'll begin chattering tomorrow.

Well it could only get better from here. Hopefully we’ll land a great player and get one of the top 3 spots. =)

Bayless 5th, I’ve been doing it every day for the last 2 months and he’s come up by far the most. Heat get our most coveted.

I got

Bayless at 5….I would not lose sleep with that scenario

if they get mayo

i’ll kill myself….talk about the definition of a player the knicks couldn’t use:

a me-first gunner who can’t defend and has serious baggage?

i’ll pass.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

I can't believe what I just saw...

My lottery result: A fellow by the name of “D-Rock Hoes” going to a team called the “New York Knicks” with the #1 overall pick. Holy fuck, I don’t think it can be a good sign. That honestly really just scared the shit out of me. Who knows.

Get them ping pong balls.

for those of you wondering, these are the odds:

3rd – 9.4 percent

Finally won one

Gave the lottery thing 2 more spins, on the 1st, we got the 5th pick. Again. But on the 2nd…

I’m going to keep that window open for as long as possible, it’s just so beautiful.

lucky bulls

of course

if they get the #1 pick to take rose (a chicago kid), then i’m convinced the lottery is rigged.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

by Anthony Masons Haircut on May 20, 2008 8:23 PM EDT reply actions  

Nah

I think they’re going Beasley.

Still, fucking ridiculous luck, we go down to 6, their 1.7% chance gets them the top pick.

i dont think he'll be there anyway

and i’m thankful for that.

maybe bayless or gordon in that spot? the italian kid? i think the picks from 3-10 are pretty wide open. i’m not really certain what any of those teams are going to do.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

F U C K ! ! !

All my dreams dashed to hell, fucking number 6 pick… Guess I can change my avatar now, SHIT!!

by HUSTLE HARDER on May 20, 2008 8:47 PM EDT reply actions  

6th pick isn't that bad, folks

we had a better chance of the 6th pick than of the top 3 combined, so i haven’t flipped any shits yet.
